Yesterday the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles opened up its digital collection of images to the public, making them "free to use, modify, and publish for any purpose." As I began perusing the photography (complete with grisly Civil War images, historical portraits and antique cheesecake shots), I found this:

Embudo, New Mexico (Digital image courtesy of the Getty's Open Content Program.)

William Henry Jackson took this image from the north side of the Rio Grande somewhere between 1881 and 1896. Although the date stamped looks like 1927, Getty insists it reads 1027. While the actual timing of the photograph is unclear, the location is not.

In a related online find, several years back I ran across a Library of Congress catalog of images wherein I found these Depression era WPA images, also from our neighborhood.

Can anyone pinpoint these locations? I believe the snow scene and the indoor shots are from Peñasco.
